Excerpt from A Manual of Yacht and Boat Sailing In launching the "Manual of Yacht and Boat Sailing," I desire to acknowledge the valuable aid which I received during its compilation. Mr. J. Beavor Webb compiled the tables for rigging and blocks, and gave me the lines of the Itchen Boats; Mr. Gr. L.Watson of Sauchiehallstreet Glasgow made the drawings of Clyde Sailing Boats and wrote the chapter thereon; Mr. C.P. Clayton gave me the lines of the New Brighton Sailing Boats and much information concerning their outfit and management; and he, too, with Mr. W.B. Porwood, gave me the instruction I required concerning Windermere Yachts; Mr. W.Baden Powell gave me the drawing and particulars of the Gunter Sprit Rig introduced by him; Mr. T.Stow, yacht builder, of Shoreham, gave me the lines of the Brighton Beach Boat; and Mr. J.B. Wills, of Penzance, the design of the Penzance Lugger. Some of the information on other subjects I obtained from correspondents of The Field, and I believe the source is in each case acknowledged in the text.
